Sutras 22-24

>From The Sky of The Heart; Jewels of Wisdom From Nityananda:

 

 

Sutra 22

 

The fruit is according to inner faith.

 

Good and evil do not apply to the Self,

 

Which is like a mirror that reflects the form

 

That the mind creates.

 

The individual Self is like a bird in the nest--

 

When the nest breaks down,

 

The bird simply flies away.

 

Depending on its efforts,

 

It may build a new nest

 

In minutes, months, or years.

>From here, you can reach the railway station

 

In an hour or in a month.

 

 

Sutra 23

 

Creation dissolves into the breath of life,

 

Vayu, prana, vital-force, blue in color.

 

Practice raja yoga and experience

 

The bliss of the Indivisible Absolute.

 

Enter into the One! Dissolve the many!

 

 

Sutra 24

 

To bring your creative energy under control--

 

Breathe.

 

Samadhi is the upward breath, the God within.

 

With the upward breath established,

 

you will find the entire universe inside.

 

In all creatures the upward breath is the same.

 

 

The raja yogi is at one with this

 

Infinite movement

 

Whether sitting, talking, standing, walking.

 

Raja yoga is the highest yoga.

 

It is like climbing to the roof of a building

 

And looking below.

 

When intellect and wisdom are united,

 

You will know complete,

 

Formless and without qualities.

 

 

Bliss has no qualities.

 

This state is called jivanmukti--

 

Knowing liberation while alive!

 

Self-Realization.
